Daylight Saving Time: On Sunday, the clock features an hour

Next Sunday summer schedule begins: Who does not have radio-controlled watches have, you must stop your clock manually rotate forward by one hour. The sun will rise in the morning, an hour later, but still the longest of the night bright As a reminder, the following is appropriate "home": In the spring, when everything begins to sprout, move in an hour. In the autumn, where nature is preparing for the "hibernation", everything goes slower, so the clocks back an hour.

Next Sunday it again: At 2:00, watch the clock to 3:00 advanced. For seven months in Switzerland is in the Central European summer time (CET) before the reset on Sunday 30 October, again in Central European Time (CET). This tells the Federal Office of Metrology (METAS) in, which is responsible for implementation and dissemination of official time in Switzerland.

ATL-time signal can be received at the end of the year Most of the tower, school and station clocks and traffic lights are synchronized radio-controlled. So you always have accurate time information and automatically place in or around the summer to standard time. This year DST will be the last, which is in charge of the signal transmitter HBG Swiss time. In August 2009 the Federal Council has decided to suspend the operation of the HBG time signal transmitter in Prangins (VD) in late 2011. Thereafter, on synchronized clocks and controls received HBG characters long and should become another form of broadcast time signals.

The majority of public clocks in Switzerland are already using the technique and the quality of the signal equivalent to the DCF77 time signal station German. The relatively small proportion of public clocks that are synchronized with HBG, can be converted at a reasonable cost when German mark until the end of the year. HBG clock radio commercial came after only one year on the market.
